TELL US A SECRET

“I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION I FOUND WRITTEN ON A PIECE OF WOOD IN A HOUSTON VENUE'S CEILING ON THE LAST DAY OF A LONG TOUR. IT DOESN'T FEEL GOOD TO HAVE YOUR EXISTENCE CHALLENGED BY A WOODEN BEAM, AND TO BE DEFEATED BY SAID BEAM IS EVEN WORSE.”

Interview With Knesset

Knesset are a four-piece from Phoenix, Arizona. They released their debut album (Coming of Age)last February. It’s a brooding affair typified by crisp drums, towering shoegaze textures, honest lyrics, gentle vocals, pangs of nostalgia and well-crafted guitar melodies. It’s young, sunny, excitable and occasionally veers into the experimental, thereby checking all the boxes you’d expect of a debut long-player.

Knesset have already toured with and supported artists like former Negative Narrators Asobi Seksu (see their intraview here) and Her Space Holiday, and hope to capitalise on their growing buzz this summer.
